I'm watching it and her video is uhmm... yea. She didn't really think this one through.

I mean I get where she's getting at, but the lyrics and the imagery... I dunno, it's odd to see someone use them for a song with such undertones.

Light-heartedness is the goal of using Nazi imagery mostly, or like the "Stitch Nazis" for Historical Reenactions in public, but not like what she did.

Yeah. Not a good choice on her part.

I really need to go to sleep now, so good night!

I wonder what's causing it, but currently it feels there are dozen of things I'd want to do or study, yet I regretfully muse I've no time or resources for half of them.

He only had to do it a few times, changing the genetic makeup a bit each time. From then on, they basically became flying insectoid Von Neumann weapons.

Real LifeTM's main storyline is total shit. Makes WH40K almost look positive. The minigames are fun, though, and the graphics and physics engine can't be beat.
